Students will make a glogster poster about coin currency and show understanding of the value of 4 most commonly used coins
Tasks:
1) Create an edu.glogster.com poster demonstrating knowledge of the value of coins (penny, nickel, dime, quarter)
2) Continue on the poster with reteaching at least two different ways to make specific amounts of money using different denominations
Objectives:
M.UN.01.04 Identify the different denominations of coins and bills.
M.UN.01.05 Match one coin or bill of one denomination to an equivalent set of coins/billsof other denominations, e.g., 1 quarter = 2 dimes and 1 nickel.
Using a digital poster format, students will be able to apply existing knowledge of coin value to generate a new product, collaborate with peers to complete the task, apply digital tools to use information and use mulitple processes to explore alternative solutions to problems.
Assessment:
Student learning will be assessed using a rubric for the finished glogster poster. Differentiation for assessment could be a verbal explanation of the glogster by the student.
Resources:
Computer, internet connection, glogster account, manipulatives to represent money
Examples:
Links to teacher or student examples.
Reflection:
Reflect on the experience with specific details about the instructional outcome, pedagogy, tool effectiveness, and student engagement. Include any student feedback about the activity.
Opening:
Teacher will discuss the coins that class has been discussing including size, value and how skip counting helps to determine the value of groups of different coins. Students will verbalize ways to show amounts of money using different coins.
Input and Modeling:
Teacher will discuss a school store activity that the class will engage in. Posing real life questions about making purchases and giving change, the students will verbalize understanding of the need to use money to make purchases and the importance of making sure that a buyer receives proper change.
This is a penny candy website and the class will work together to choose items for a "shopping cart". Students will work in pairs and choose items to purchase, writing down the prices of each item they choose. Once the groups choose their items, teacher will demonstrate drawing the number of coins necessary to purchase each item and then count up the coins necessary for the entire purchase.
Independent Practice:
Students will repeat the activity making their own lists, showing the amounts of coins necessary for each item and counting up the total for the purchase. An extension would be to demonstrate coin trades that could occur.
Day Two
Students will reflect on the lesson prior to this one in a whole group discussion. Once the discussion is over, students will create a digital poster that demonstrates why it is important to count money correctly and makes a connection to the experiences they have had with money, either in class or in their personal lives.
